"[...] but in daylight it is a wreck."

At 100%. And nobody - especially on a mobile phone - looks at images at 100%.

"no one is going to switch system based on a camera."

DPR is read also outside of US, you know. There are such places where you do not need to sell your organs to change the carriers or phones.

Smaller size of output images? Less battery drained when scaling down for web - because that's where most of mobile phone pictures end up? Less space is taken on the memory card and images are...

In a while, somebody made a totally rational decision about MP count. Congrats HTC!

People finding a Google's product useful? That's a good sign that Google would soon shut it down.

"See samples of all these techniques at my web site."

Level is tilted on many photographs. But that's OK - I abuse the trick too. :)

Panny 20mm AF speed is a known issue and many reviews/hands-on mention that. Sadly Panny doesn't seem to be planning an update. Even the older Oly 2.8/17mm, though optically inferior, focuses...

@BJN: "The sensor should be agnostic to the light it receives."

But not to the angle of the light hitting the sensor. Deeper the wells are, worse the light capture at edges. And now we got here...

"We want to offer a product that allows people to take beautiful pictures by just pressing the shutter - even without the knowledge of a complex, intricate camera."

Wrong. Ask pros and...

@plasnu. I wonder if that Panny sensor can be somehow combined with the Fuji X-Trans...
